Story Highlights

Google has released a new spatial audio software development kit (SDK) called Resonance Audio. The technology, based on Google’s VR Audio SDK, is designed to help bring sound into the 3D space for 360-degree video, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Resonance Audio will also work across both mobile and desktop platforms, is compatible with game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity, and works with a suite of editing software. With Resonance Audio, Google wants to replicate what it’s like to be immersed in a virtual world.
